Jake McKelvie & The Countertops

Jake McKelvie has traveled the DIY touring circuit in the US for the last decade, carving out a niche for himself as a songwriter and performer. Known for his off-kilter and whimsical "stream of self-consciousness" lyricism and charming stage demeanor, McKelvie keeps audiences rapt whether as a solo performer or with his punk-leaning outfit, The Countertops. This year, in anticipation of the release of a new solo record, he will embark on a tour of the UK.

Annie Blackman

Brooklyn, NY’s Annie Blackman writes lyrics that might enfold multiple perspectives and narrative asides, or double back and counteract themselves, leaving specific interpretation up to the listener. Through comedy, self-criticism, and meta-reflection, Blackman lends dimension to memories of whirlwind crushes and deflated dreams. Called “witty and tongue in cheek” by Uproxx, with FLOOD praising her songs “spun from the raw emotional tendons of real-life scenes,” Blackman is a purveyor of bite-sized time capsules put to the beat of engaging indie folk. “...She’s poised for a breakthrough as one of this year’s most distinctive young singer-songwriters,” echoed Rolling Stone in a 2023 profile. “Her latest release, Bug, is a tightly composed five-song cycle about bad dates and breakups, with verses full of sly humor and bittersweet truths. If you’re a fan of boygenius, Soccer Mommy, or Swift herself, it just might introduce you to a new favorite.”

Eliza Edens

Born and raised in rural Massachusetts and currently living in Brooklyn, NY⁠, Eliza Edens weaves together disparate influences of people and place into her work to create mesmerizing sonic tapestries with guitar and voice. With a love for tinkering with alternate tunings à la Nick Drake, a curious harmonic ear from years of childhood classical piano lessons, and an ever-expanding affinity for words and stories, Edens’ songs build a kaleidoscopic world that documents the parallels between hope and heartbreak. The resulting sound is a diverse palette of guitar-based, experimental folk-rock centered around Edens gently cradled voice and brimming at the edges with pockets of sonic whimsy. Edens is due to release her sophomore album We’ll Become the Flowers on October 14th.

Tuxis Giant (solo)

Tuxis Giant formed in Boston, MA in 2014. Drawing influence from the likes of Bill Callahan, Jason Molina, and Pile, they blend alt-country ethos, art-rock experimentation and evocative storytelling into a sound entirely their own. They’ve released four albums, a handful of EPs and toured extensively throughout the past 10 years. Today, Tuxis Giant’s members are spread between Boston and New York City, and they’re proud to be “locals” in both cities.
